Letting the bits go
May 28, 2006
To become bit literate you have to let the bits go.
The New York Times today includes an essay from someone who gave up their Blackberry. From Feeling All Thumbed Out - New York Times:
But you gave me something to do in idle moments, while I was standing in line or waiting for a train. With you, there was no dead time. It seemed great for a while.
Living without you, though, there's more time to think.
Daydreaming is an underappreciated pastime, and I've been doing more of it since we broke up, often to good effect. The idea percolator works better with fewer distractions.
I realize that not everyone can let go like I did.
